Default how the heck do u guys drive S on hwys?

how do you guys do it?? whenever i drive my S2000 on the interstate over 65mph, there is so much wind noise & turbulence that I can barely talk to my gf or listen to radio.. plus our hair gets major f##ked up.. ? i know the S is not meant to be a highway cruiser, but is it not supposed to be driven at 70+mph on the highway with the top down?

No problems here. You're supposed to talk to your girlfriend while driving?! If you absolutely HAVE to talk to her try rolling the windows up when you go top down.

Wear your favorite "driving" hat, turn off the radio, listen to the exaust note and hear the wind... enjoy!

Why would you want to talk your girlfreind? I would use the top down excuse as a reason not to talk.

I roll the windows up. It's the only way my wife can stand it.

My S2000 can make all the noise it wants. Who needs a radio when you have an F20C at 9K screaming sweet musical notes?

Most of the time I just mute the radio and drive with the top down....its the experience that got me to buy the car in the first place.

I've been well over 100 with top down. No worries here! Maybe you should trade the S on a Camry. I hear they are very quite on the highway and I'm sure your hair would be just fine.

I've never had any problems at that speed with the top down, windows up make a huge difference.
